It absolutely is not. It's about risk of absconding. Secondly, no, cash bail is not a thing in the UK. Someone being arrested in the UK for extradition is not part of the UK justice system, they are merely passing through at the request of a foreign nation. Unsurprisingly, foreign nationals can't have their passport taken away by a foreign country, who'd have thought?!?!??!
- lfodofod 4y agoYou are very confidently wrong, but still wrong. >It's about risk of absconding And putting up a bigger deposit obviously helps address that risk. >Secondly, no, cash bail is not a thing in the UK It is. In the UK it’s called a bail security. It’s not common, but absolutely a thing.

What? Of course they can. It’s not at all unusual for people bailed for crimes in the UK to be required to surrender their foreign passports.
